Trusted Home Inspection

Here's an example why one should never ask how much a home inspector would charge based on number of bedrooms a property have. Or does the home inspector have fixed rate for certain type of the property (Single Family, Townhouse, Condo, Apt etc.).

Each property is unique to itself, thus, will create different work load for the home inspector.

It Was a Three-Bedroom Colonial. Now, This Rural Massachusetts Property Feels Like ‘Disneyland.’ Built by the late founder of Yankee Candle Co., a 60-acre portion of the estate—with an indoor water park, an arcade and two car barns—is hitting the market for $23 million.

Keeping attic space well ventilated is a MUST as a preventative maintenance including but not limited to damp insulation (which will reduce it's R-value on heat preservation) and ice dam and/ or related damages. Typically the attic space is vented through combination of vents such as power fan, turbine, passive, ridge, soffit, or gable vents.

But when I came across this......I am dumbfounded!! It's not in any of my home inspection books that I've studied. So don't blame me to call this out. Even better, when I saw the "band aid" on the roof, I'm DEFENATELY going to flag this because this roof needs attention from a DR. ROOF.
